OPERATIVE MEMO

SUBJECT: PO “CRNI”

At the 1st Department's planning conference held
on 20/SEP/1995 in the offices of UDBK Kumanovo in respect to line of work of xxxx, among other things,
regarding PT "Crni" it was agreed that his environment be reexamined,
that is to say, studied, for the purpose of finding an appropriate person for
use. Proceeding in accordance with the agreement, the examination has been completed,
during which several persons were identified as persons who are maintaining formal
and private contacts with [Petrovski]. On the basis of the executed
examination, a study of one person from those identified, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, has been
carried out in, with whom we made contact and conducted a conversation for the
purpose of evaluating his genuine capabilities, as well as his readiness for
further engagement toward PT "Crni".

In the course of the examination of PT "Crni's"
environment in the area of the municipality, several of his business and
private connections were discovered, however, since several of them deserve our
interest, we do not have the actual capabilities to act on winning [all of]
them over for their further use.

His closest connections from the area of the municipality
are:

1. DIMKOVSKIPREDRAG,
father Miodrag and mother Hristina, born on 28/May/1956 in Skopje, with a
constant place of residence in Kumanovo in an apartment on the street "11-ti
Oktomvri",number 66, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. DIMITRIEVSKI PREDRAG, father Dušan and mother Nikoleta,
born on the 7/Jun/1955 in Kumanovo, where he lives in an apartment on street "Narodna
Revolucija", number 148, representative of "Vitaminka" from
Prilep for the city of Kumanovo.

3. STOJANOVSKI TOMISLAV, lawyer from the city of Kumanovo;
Jakimovski Gorgi from village Biljanovce, owner of the company "Igo Prom"
from the city of Kumanovo, Trajkovski Zvonko from the village of Šupli Kamen
owner of the company "Agro Biznis" from the city of Kumanovo; as well
as

4. ALEKSOVSKI COCKO, owner of the freight forwarding company
"Viva" from Kumanovo.

In addition to the above contacts, PT "Crni" used
to hold business ties with a larger number of company owners, however, due to a
number of different reasons he has terminated contacts with most of those
[persons].

In addition to "Crni's" abovementioned connections
from within the country, our Source was able to identify a number (2) of
connections from Bulgaria; those are: Cvetan Fingov, owner of the export-import
company "Simiport" from Sofia, and Ognjan Petkov, Chief in the Ministry
of Commerce.

Concerning "Crni's" business connections from
Bulgaria, xxxxxxxx
informed us that in addition to the ones mentioned above, [Petrovski] has many
others, which in due course [the Source] will identify. The Source did not know
which of the mentioned contacts from Bulgaria [it was that] in early 1995 he
met, along with his wife, at [Petrovski's] home. According to what "Crni"
has said, this was the person to whom he had delivered the money in the amount
of one million, but the Source does not know for what reason this money was turned
over to this person.

PT "Crni's" conduct in the presence of the Source,
as well as the fact that he frequently avoids meeting [the Source] and the fact
that [Petrovski] seems to not trust him have caused the Source to become suspicious
[of Petrovski]. On the morning of 27/NOV/1995 "Crni" visited the Source
and asked if he could borrow 200 German Marks, saying that he had to go take a
trip to Sofia, but that immediately upon his return he would pay the money
back. The Source accommodated him. [Petrovski] immediately left; however, [as
Petrovski left] the Source [secretly] went out and followed him up to a certain
point, so as to see where he was going. Upon entering his passenger vehicle,
[Petrovski] headed toward Kriva Palanka [Bulgarian border crossing], but changed
direction and headed in the direction of border crossing "Tabanovce" of
the Macedonian-Yugoslav border. The Source followed him to the border crossing,
and when he returned home, he called [Petrovski's] home (22-085);
"Crni's" wife of answered and said that "Crni" left on a
trip to Bulgaria.

On a number of occasions the Source has noticed "Crni"
dodging him, and avoiding telling the real truth.

No further intelligence or findings were obtained from the
conversation.

OPERATIONAL COMMENTARY:

Despite being meager, we deem the findings and information
presented by xxxxxxxxxx
to be significant and serious, since they, to a certain degree, discover and
identify part of "Crni's" business connections illegible
illegible illegible

…in selecting and arriving at one or two other persons which
to win over to our side for further use toward "Crni".
